Car and bike engines follow fundamentally different design objectives.
Bike engines are almost twice as powerful as those in sports cars, litre for litre. That's why you need to use oil that is different from car oil and that is dedicated to bikes to provide the best wear protection - so you get top performance coupled with maximum reliability.
DPA TECHNOLOGY
Most four-stroke bike engines contain less oil than car engines. Bike oils have to work much harder in comparison with car oil, and this is exactly why we have developed the Shell Advance range with DPA technology
The DPA Dynamic Performance Additivel technology helps to prevent the break~down of oil, so that the oil keeps on performing until the next oil change. The detergent promotes component cleanliness by removing and then rendering the stubborn black carbon particles that can build up rapidly on parts lubricated with less advanced formula oil.

In the harsh environment of a modern bike engine, oil degrades with time, which results in loss of properties it was formulated to have. This degradation leads to a build-up of acids and an increase in the oil's viscosity, which reduces engine's performance and the level of protection that the oil gives to engine's components.
Based on the challenge, the DPA technology extends the life of the oil-helping to maintain the formula - so that the engine runs as the manufacturer intended. Shell Advance oil formula offers high levels of protection and enables bikers to get the most out of their bikes for a longer period.
Whether it's the glamour of MotoGP, the thrills of World Superbikes, or the demanding endurance trial of the Paris to Dakar Rally, Shell Advance technology is performing.
